Background: Hepatitis B virus (HBV) and C virus (HCV) known to be transmitted through blood and blood products and has been implicated as a major cause of chronic liver disease and hepatocellular carcinoma worldwide.
Objective: This study aim to detect the relationship between the HBV and HCV infections with ABO blood groups and age of blood donor in Al- Ramadi city.
Patients & Methods: We conducted Hepatitis B surface antigen test strip (ACON Laboratories) (USA) and HCVAb, as step to detect the infections among blood donors at the laboratories for central blood bank in Alanbar health directory, M.O.H. The results of this study were analyzed statistically using the T-test to find the significance of probability level according to SPSS ver12 program. (P) Value < 0.05 were considered significant.
Results: Among (430) volunteer blood donors, there were 71(16.511%) positive for HBs Ag and 12(2.790%) for HCVAb. Hepatitis B and C infections were significantly associated with blood group of the donors; percentage of HBs Ag and HCVAb were found to be higher in donors who has blood group O and lowest in blood group AB donors, while the distribution of Rh in hepatitis infected donors was higher among Rh positive donors. HCV infections show a high percentage at age group (26–35) years old, while the percentage of HBV infections increase with progress of age group among blood donors.
Conclusion: There were a significant association between blood group of donors and hepatitis infections and the infections of HCV increase among (26-35) years old blood donors while the HBV infections increase with progress of age groups.
In this paper, we investigate prime near – rings with two sided α-n-derivations
satisfying certain differential identities. Consequently, some well-known results
have been generalized. Moreover, an example proving the necessity of the primness
hypothesis is given.
This paper focuses on developing a self-starting numerical approach that can be used for direct integration of higher-order initial value problems of Ordinary Differential Equations. The method is derived from power series approximation with the resulting equations discretized at the selected grid and off-grid points. The method is applied in a block-by-block approach as a numerical integrator of higher-order initial value problems. The basic properties of the block method are investigated to authenticate its performance and then implemented with some tested experiments to validate the accuracy and convergence of the method.
Immuno-haematological genetic markers study was carried out to understand the genetic background variations among Kirkuk (Iraq) indigenous population. A cross-sectional study of 179 patients with thalassemia major was conducted in Kirkuk. A detailed review was undertaken to define the relationships between ethnic origins, phenotype and immuno-genetic markers uniformity in relation to genetic isolation and interethnic admixture. A total of 179 thalassemia major patients were subjected to analysis in the hereditary blood diseases centre, including (18(10.05 %)) of intermarriages between different ethnic groups origin, whereas the overall consanguinity marriage rate was estimated at (161 (89.9%)) including (63(35.1%)) for first cousi

Samples were prepared using solid state reaction technique, suitable oxides alternatives of Pb2O3, CaO, BaO and CuO with 99.99% purity as raw materials and then mixed. They were prepared in the form of discs with a diameter of 1.5 cm and a thickness of (0.2-0.3) cm under pressures 7 tons / cm2, and the samples were sintered at a constant temperature o

Show MoreIn this paper, we introduce and study new classes of soft open sets in soft bitopological spaces called soft (1,2)*-omega open sets and weak forms of soft (1,2)*-omega open sets such as soft (1,2)*-α-ω-open sets, soft (1,2)*-pre-ω-opensets, soft (1,2)*-b-ω-open sets, and soft (1,2)*-β-ω-open sets. Moreover; some basic properties and the relation among these concepts and other concepts also have been studied.
